NO marijuana for kids!!!!!

[Casered]

In the 60's-80's you could have a puff at a party if it was being passed around, no problem man, mild stuff compared to now. Now days you never know if the pot your kid is buying, or the puff she is taking at a party, has been spiked somewhere along the chain of different handlers. Even at the smallest of amounts of crystal or opioid can cause you to be addicted to a particular dealer, wanting "their pot" over others. Easy to move from pot to the hard stuff once you've had a taste. For the vast majority of people, all it takes is one taste of crystal and you'll be a drug addict the rest of your life.(however long that might be.)

Dealers don’t spike marijuana with more expensive drugs. That is another myth. I’m sure some asshole has done it to someone somewhere but it’s one in a million.

I think you just made an argument in favour of legalization and carefull regulation of the supply. Street drugs are by their nature un regulated and more risky for sure.

So how is legalized pot going to guarantee our kids dont take a puff of something they dont know they are smoking. Are the joints going to be stamped made in canada by your local liberal mp. This is really bad imo. Just making parenting a whole lot more difficult when our federal government is saying its all good. Just by our stuff man.

There are no guarantees with either system. But the aim is to put the black market out of business. If that happens then the supply will be tested and regulated vs untested and who knows what. Kids already have easy access now. So just like underage alcohol use a lot is up to parents to monitor and control their kids. After 18 it is too late anyway.

I'm not that bright chuck so you will have to have patience with me. If legalizing pot will kill the black market why not make all illegal drugs legal. Isnt it like anything else thats for sale. Make it better or cheaper or both. Boom. We are in business again.

It's always a good idea to consult with others who have already gone the legalization path, like Colorado and Washington states.
It can open eyes to problems not yet brought up.

This is clearly a case of a desperate Canadian governments looking for more tax dollars to incinerate.

And to hell with the health of the innocent general public.

Those that vote for it and pass it will have blood on their hands for years to come.

RWT101 - Scary article. It is saying that we and our families can all expect to be exposed to another hazard each time we drive down the road.

“We went from zero to 100, and we’ve been chasing it ever since,” Greenwood Village Police Chief John Jackson said of the state’s implementation of legalized marijuana. “Nobody understands it and people are dying. That’s a huge public safety problem.”

Aw what the heck would a cop know about driving hazards...

A survivor raises an excellent question: “I never understood how we’d pass a law without first understanding the impact better,” said Barbara Deckert, whose fiancée, Ron Edwards, was killed in 2015 in a collision with a driver who tested positive for marijuana use below the legal limit and charged only with careless driving. “How do we let that happen without having our ducks in a row? And people are dying.”

Not hard to understand here - legalization was pronounced by a pot-using, brain-damaged child who is more taken with the art on his socks than the public good.

It is crazy that's country that has tried very hard to eradicate cancer from smoking cigarettes/cigars, chewing tobacco over the last several decades will simply make smoking pot accessible to everyone by making it as easy as picking up at a local outlet.
Also very crazy that after trying to decrease our drunk driving fatalities rate now drivers will have to look out for more stoned drivers swerving at them.

Net outcome of having a legal pot option:
More accessible pot everywhere
More socially acceptable, less of a stigma
Lower IQ for teenagers who use it prior to brains being developed, higher rates of other brain problems such as paranoia, etc (Ex. Margaret Trudeau)
Higher rate of traffic related deaths and accidents
Higher SGI premiums
Higher tax dollars required to sell pot through security, sales, logistics, etc.
More taxes collected for government
Black market will still be cheaper option for pot

Alcohol kills brain cells and damages developing brains before 25. If you google it it’s a proven fact. Marijuana doesn’t cause brain damage and the studies showing its damage to developing brains is unproven.

Marijuana will lower the IQ for anyone who uses it before their brain is fully developed. You can find many tests showing this.
Ironically Justin Trudeau's mother is an example of a "flower power" child who made very bad decisions when on pot, than moved onto harder drugs and now has life long brain issues.

There is a lot of misinformation in your post.. Marijuana does not perminatly reduce iq in anyone that is a total lie. There is no prof marijuana causes cancer. There is a lot of studies showing it can help reduce the size of tumors. There is no info anywhere that says legalization has caused more road fatalities. Marijuana and alcohol impairment are not anywhere close to the same. Best to do a little reasearch before spouting off nonsense.
